Canadian Pastor Speaks
For Deeper Life Week
Paul Evan, junior, won the presidency in the
largest Senate election vote ever cast at Bethel.
Other officers elected were Bruce Leafblad,
vice-president; Lois Bradshaw, record secretary;
June McGillivray, corresponding secretary; and
John Tyberg, treasurer.
School's Largest Vote Cast
Four hundred seventy-six votes were cast as
compared to 396 last year. This year there were
428 votes from the college and 48 from the seminary.
The new executive board will officially take
over Senate next year. However, in May both this
year's and next year's Senate will have a vote in
the combined meetings.
The remaining Senate seats will be filled by
the four class presidents and chairmen of the ath-letic,
cultural, religious, and social councils.
According to Dwight Jessup, Senate president,
all students interested in council positions and
chairmanship of the Homecoming committee should
contact present council chairmen or Senate members,
A retreat has been planned for the combined
Senates on Saturday, May 2, at Lyman Lodge on
Lake Minnetonka.
Paul was three times president of his high
school class and president of his high school student
government.
At present he is chairman of the junior-senior
banquet committee. Paul also played football this
year and was elected most valuable player and cap-tain
of next year's team.
The closest race in the election was won by
Bruce Leafblad, sophomore. He had a seven vote
majority over his opponent, Dick Benert.
Bruce is vice-chairman and treasurer of re-ligious
council, vice-president of male chorus, and
student representative to student personnel com-mittee
and chapel committee.
Sophomore Lois Bradshaw is copy editor of the
CLARION and corresponding secretary of religious
council. She is also student representative on spirit-ual
life committee, NSA delegate, and co-chairman
of Senate committee on social etiquette.
June McGillivray, sophomore, is vice-president
of the music club and Bodien council representative.
She was also secretary of her freshman class at
Bethel.
Junior John Tyiberg is treasurer of Edgren
council, program chairman for World Mission fel-lowship,
and copy editor of the Spire.
Other candidates for office were Bob Ricker,
president; Dick Benert, vice-president; Jean Hayne,
recording secretary; Kathy Wilsey, corresponding
secretary; and Ray Duncan, treasurer.
Dr. William Fitch, pastor of
Knox Presbyterian church of Tor-onto,
Canada, will be guest speaker
during Deeper Life week on cam-pus.
Bethel's annual Deeper Life
week will be held April 6-10 this
year.
Dr. Fitch was pastor of the
Springburns Hill Presbyterian
Church of Glasgow, Scotland, un-til
1954. He was also a featured
speaker at the mid-America Kes-
Guatamala U.
Scholars Will
Visit Bethel
Twenty-eight Guatemalan stu-dents
will stay on the Bethel cam-pus
March 30 and 31.
These students are a group from
the University of Guatamala and
are brought to the Twin Cities by
the Rev. and Mrs. Robert Thorpe,
missionaries in Guatamala.
An informal gathering will be
held on March 31. This will be
open to all students and will con-sist
of discussion on inter-Ameri-can
relationships and Latin Am-erican
customs. The meeting will
be held in the student center at
7:30 p.m.
The visitors will return to the
campus on Friday, April 3, to par-ticipate
in a college-seminary joint
chapel in the fieldhouse.
Any student interested in hav-ing
one of the Guatamalan visitors
stay in his room should contact
the Student Affairs office.
Bethel college choir, under the
direction of C. Howard Smith, pro-fessor
of music, will leave on their
eleventh annual tour on Thurs-day,
March 26. This year the choir
will be touring the Northwest.
A Good Friday concert in Great
Falls, Mont. will be the first of
the tour. Easter Sunday will be
spent in Seattle, Wash., where
three concerts will be sung.
Oregon is next on the itinerary
with concerts in Clatskanis, War-ren,
and Portland. From here the
wick conference, sponsored by
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
Bethel was also host to Dr. Fitch
for Founder's Week 1958.
To lead students and staff into
a deeper walk with the Lord is
the purpose of Deeper Like week,
according to Dr. Carl Lundquist,
president of the college and sem-inary.
Evening vesper services, as well
as daily chapel hours, will be high-lighted
during this week of spirit-ual
emphasis. Dr. Lundquist feels
the sincere searching on the part
of each student will determine the
fruitfulness of this week.
The Spiritual Life committee,
with Dr. Virgil Olson, professor
of church history, as chairman, has
made the arrangements for the
week.
President Says:
Paul Evan submitted the fol-lowing
statement to the CLAR-ION
concerning his objectives as
Senate president:
"I am highly honored by be-ing
elected president. Now it is
my earnest desire and prayer
that I will be able to direct the
government of Bethel in a way
that will benefit the student
body and be plea6ing to God.
"With the example set by past
presidents and Senates as my
guide and with the help of all
Bethel students, I hope to carry
out the program outlined dur-ing
the campaign and to uphold
the traditions of Bethel."
choir will return to Washington
and sing in Puyallup, Tacoma, Mt.
Vernon, and Bellingham.
A short stay in Canada is on the
tour with three concerts in Van-couver,
B. C., then to Washington
again and concerts in Everett,
Ephrata, and Spokane.
The last concert of the tour will
be sung in Central Baptist church
of St. Paul on Sunday, April 12.
This concert will begin at 7:15 p.m.
Sixteen numbers are on the pro-gram,

are also featured on the program.
During the 18-concert series the
choir members will room overnight
in homes of various families in the
Columbia conference of the Bap-tist
General conference.
This year the group will be
touring by train, a new experience
for the annual choir tours.

art schools.
Faculty - Prospective Student's
tea will be held in the dining hall
from 3 to 4 this afternoon.
At this time the prospective
students will have an opportunity
to meet informally with faculty
members. There will be no special
program.
Ten counseling sessions are
scheduled for 1:30 today. Voca-tions
such as medicine, education
and the ministry will be discussed
at these sessions.
Prospective Student days are
planned by the vice - president's
committee, headed by Milt Holm-
Chorus Takes
Weekend Tour
To Sioux Falls
Bethel's 34 voice male chorus will
be taking three weekend tours this
year.
The first of these will be in the
Sioux Falls, S. D. area April 3-7.
The group will first sing in
Estherville, Kiron, and Sioux City,
Iowa. In South Dakota they will
have a concert in Alcester, Sioux
Falls, and Salem. They will also
sing in Willmar, Minn. on the way
back to school.
Arrangements are being made
for a concert at Sioux Falls col-lege,
an American Baptist school.
The program for the group in-cludes
"Missa Brevis in G," by
Healey Willan, and four numbers
arranged by Bruce Leafblad, col-lege
sophomore.
A section of Psalms, one of
spirituals and folk songs, and one
including songs of faith are also
on the program.
Mr. Sheldon Fardig, associate
professor of music, is director of
the male chorus.
quist. Sharon Johnson, Martin
Penner and Larry Nelson were in
charge of registration, housing and
transportation, respectively. Lynn
Weaver and Evan Rogers planned
the printed programs, last night's
variety program and the tea.
Special orientation with Clifford
Larson, dean of the college, and
introduction to class work was
presented this morning. The latter
was introduced by dividing the
group into three sections which
rotated between freshman com-position,
Bible literature, and bio-logy
classes.
The students arrived yesterday
and since then have been attend-ing
activities planned for them.
Last night there was a variety
program followed by dorm felow-ships.
Prospective students stayed in
the dorms with regular dorm resi-dents
last night.
Seniors Return
From Chicago
Seminary seniors returned today
from a trip to Baptist General
conference headquarters in Chi-cago.
Twenty-five seniors accom-panied
by seminary dean Edwin
Omark spent Saturday, Sunday,
and Monday touring headquarters
and visiting conference churches in
the city.
The purpose of the trip was to
acquaint the men with the work
of the Baptist General conference.
At a dinner in Northwest Bap-tist
church last night a panel
of board secretaries, moderated by
Rev. Mr. Harold Christiansen, pre-sented
the responsibilities of their
board. After the presentation the
students could ask the panel ques-tions.

Stop the elevator at the second floor and walk out into a lobby
surrounded by doors at the tops of sets of three stairs. (Three's a neat
number, I think.) Each door has a porthole window.
The idea of the porthole window comes from an old tradition of
the doormakers, who used to work for United States Lines when they
were still just clippers. This tradition for the porthole window itself
comes from an even older philosophy—and if you are outlining this
article, this will be subpoint (1) under A of point I—that philosophy
being the Orwellian-IVIachiavellian idea whereby every person is to
be watched with brotherly interest so that none can be secretive from
the top brass.
The lobby is quiet except for the receptionist at the switchboard,
and the sapranic squeals from the late night opera-for-easy-listening.
Of course, this in itself gives the lobby an attitude of profound dis-quiet.
But just where the fright are we?
Its Saturday night at WOCO, and the network is occupying the
airwaves with a modern three-hour opera in which artist and orchestra
do not necessarily coincide on notes and phrases. This is easily discern-able.
Interesting experience! Shattering!
One of the staff, a commercial announcer, discontinued his game
of Scrabble with his wife, who had came over for the evening to play
Scrabble, and was our guide on the studio's two-dollar tour. Should you
chance to go in the afternoon, you receive the station's two-obit tour.
This tests your lung capacity and legging ability in a savage burst
through the studios—live studio for band, live studio for discussion,
studio for live audiences, studio for taping, studio for recording, studio
for news-reading, studio for sale .. .
The fastest time clocked through WOOD is held by janitor Leider
Kranz, who whipped through in 1:17:03. Mr. Kranz is employed pre-sently
with Twin City Rapid Transit.
Try a tour. WOCO studios are on Second avenue at Seventh street
in Minneapolis. Right next to WDGY. (This way the taxes are lower.)

Consideration Of Politics
Is A Christian Obligation
That political interest is a mat-ter
of Christian obligation is the
belief of Dr. James Klonoski, last
Thursday's Political Emphasis
week chapel speaker.
Some reasons: man is ruled by
government which is obviously
close to politics; the Christian, of
all people, should be aware of
man's complexities; the political
arena is a "mission field" where
Christians must have voice amidst
the clamor of the "burly sinners"
(John Dewey) who will fill the
seats not filled by the upright.
Dr. Klonoski deplores the atti-tude
of citizens who are above the
"questionable" profession in terms
of participation. He feels that non-participation
of the Christian in
politics makes Christianity greatly
non-operative and uninfluential in
that area.
In a seemingly contradictory,
though obviously correct, state-ment,
Dr. Klonoski holds that all
citizens participate in political
activity; negative participation in
some cases, but participation never-theless.
Dr. Klonoski's ideas are appli-cable
at Bethel college and semin-ary.
To some degree campus gov-ernment
rules the student; stu-dents
are complex and capable of
unusual action; although Bethel's
quota of "burly sinners" is held
to an absolute minimum, there
exist varying ideas along a con-tinuum
of thought.
In order for the student to rea-lize
any representation of his
ideas in the ruling body of stu-dent
government he must take
an active part in campus politics—
at least to the extent of voting.
Some areas of student life are
-drefinit,— affected by student plan-ning
and regulation of activity.
The minimum requirement for a
student interested in, much less
critical of, student planned acti-vity
is that of making known his
preference as to "planners."
There is a parallel to this in the
area of concern for student-ad-ministration
communication. Stu-dents

Letter
To The
Editor
Critic Criticized
Dear Editor,
One recognizes that a drama
critic has the right to exercise his
prerogative of independent judg-ment,
but it is my opinion that
one of the members of the fine
cast of performers in the recent
presentation of The Robe was un-deservingly
slighted in B. J.'s re-view
in the CLARION.
I felt that Rich Nygren gave an
exceptionally fine performance as
the sensitive Marcellus in that
play. In a role that called for many
transitions of mood, Rich, despite
his youthful mien, gave a very con-vincing
portrayal of the aristo-cratic
nobleman, torn between an
aristocratic tradition and the
claims of Christ.
The dramatics club and their
student directors are to be com-mended
for an excellent perform-ance,
in spite of limitations of
personnel and staging facilities.

with administrative forces of the
school must give voice as to "com-municators."
For the interest of the campus
In the fall of the year, when I
was in seventh grade and about
the age of 11, I was interested in
many things. One of these was a
bicycle. It was my brother's bi-cycle,
but as the years went by I
usurped possession of this prize.
I remember the first time I
rode it. I could hardly reach the
pedals while sitting on the cross-bar
of the bike. (I learned at a
welfare, to say nothing of train-ing
for the responsibilities of citi-zenship,"
students should speak
their piece. C. W.
very early age that not to have
a cross-bar on your bicycle just
wasn't right — for fellows, any-way.)
Well, on this one summer day,
my brother helped me get started
on the bike and then went to play
baseball with his friends. I had
lots of fun riding. It was really
an achievement; something like
arguing without changing your
mind. I rode for five, ten, maybe
fifteen, twenty . . . I rode for a
long time, and I finally got tired,
so I rode over to where my brother
was playing baseball and asked
him to help me stop.
My brother, a hardened 14 year
old member of the "experience is
the best teacher" school of bicycle
riding, told me that either I would
keep riding or learn to stop by
myself. Forty-five minutes later I
eased to a stop on the running
'board of a '39 Dodge (in those
days there were a few '39 Dodges
and lots of cars had running
boards) with no damage to either
of us (the Dodge or me) except
a slight crease from gas cap for-ward.
Well, getting back to the time
when I was one and ten and in
the one and six grade, my brother
and I were riding home on the
bicycle. (I was on the handle-bars
in flagrant disrespect of all safety
precaution. I never liked safety.)
At school they used to give us
maps with the safest way home.
One dumb kid lost his map and
couldn't go home for three days.
Anyway, I didn't like the maps
and I cut through vacant lots on
my way home.
We were coming home from a
meeting of one of those boys
groups, whose name I won't men-tion,
designed to help young ones,
of at least 11 years, to be trust-worthy,
loyal, friendly, brave, kind
. . . (They weren't very good at
it. Once when I was nine I went
to camp with them for a week-end
and through the whole time they
impressed upon me the importance
of being able to lie about my age
at the drop of a question.)
Well, anyway, we were flying
down this 75 degree hill and got
to the bottom and turned the first
corner we got to and hit a bump
and I bounced off my perch. Not
wanting to leave the ship, I hung
on. This resulted in my transfor-mation
from boy to rapidly mov-ing
projectile with nose inches
above the pavement and grappling
hooks clutching to the recently
vacated handle-bar.
,My exhilaration, or more car-rectly
acceleration, was short -
lived when strength was gone and
my nose dented the asphalt sur-face
with the force of around
eight G's. ('G's are gravities, a
term familiar to nearly all who
live in the space age.)
It didn't hurt too bad, but Mom
didn't like my 43 per cent loss of
one of 'my front teeth. (Actually,
she should have been used to it,
because my brother lost his front
teeth eight times. Wish I had time
to talk about that; some of those
were real sharp accidents.)
Today, except for my three -
quarters-of-an-inch-too short nose,
you can hardly tell anything hap-pened,
except for the filling in my
front tooth.
Many times since that fateful
Monday night I have ridden that
'bicycle, and many times this blunt-ed
nasal region has cleaved the
air to make way for the hurtling
vehicle propelled by my brother
(better not mention that one to my
mother), but I never have trusted
fully that implement of disfigura-tion.
Never — until last week. Last
week I forgave that poor, inno-cent,
inanimate object and vowed
never to let the incident create any
animosity between the Schwinn bi-cycle
people and myself.
Moral: If someone pushes your
nose in, forgive him . . . It's a
lot easier that way . . . Besides,
you aren't fightin"em if they
aren't feelin' it. Harold
The Conqueror Appears;
Victory Dispels All Fear
by Marvin Anderson
Ten long years of arduous struggle, of retreat, stratigem, advance,
destruction. The ranks of the Greeks had been decimated by sorties of
the crafty Trojan. Many brave heroes had been thrown as prey to the
dogs and carrion for the fowls.
A lonely Achaean watchman resumed his nightly vigil for the
tenth year, waiting news from the towers of Troy. Suddenly he shouted
with all his being, "All Hail, thou harbinger of the dawn." From a
distant rise the signal fire beamed and the long watch was ended;
Helen was avenged, and the weary soldiers began their Odyssey back
through the wine-dark sea to home and peace.
The Emperor of Imperial Rome, last guardian of classical antiquity
and the ancient gods, lay on his death bed. Julian, the Apostate, failed
to halt the victory march of the martyrs. "Hail, Galilean," he said,
"Thou hast conquered." One can scarcely read Holy Gospel without
a sense of the triumphant. Too long has tradition crystalized the Christ,
till He has become the sentimental Jesus of manger and Madonna,
adorning the altar of some Renaissance chapel.
Ibsen's brand charged that the Hero of the Redemption has been
changed into a suckling. Either that or He has become the theologized
Christ of scholastic creed and summae. A Christian in this anxious
world faces foes more potent than Trojan craft or Roman might. Sin,
doubt and fear are ever marshaled at the door. It was Christ who said,
Let not your hearts be tossed
like the waves in a stormy sea
nor flinch in the face
of danger or toil.
Two women had come to visit their master's grave that first
Easter dawn. With heavy hearts and sorrow that blinded eyes and
minds, they approached the tomb. Two angels appeared, and with the
message of Resurrection 'pulsating in their hearts, the women ran to
tell the disciples. Christ appeared, and all fear fled as He brought
peace and victory. "All Hail," said the Master, and the Church through
the ages has resounded, "We Conquer."
John's first Epistle reminds us that Christians have gained the
victory over the Evil One. As we all face this Easter under an imminent
cloud of atomic holocaust, let us shout with the martyr-witnesses of
the early church: "All Hail, Thou Conquering Christ."
Then may the peace of God's own Son remain with us by the daily
forgiveness of sin found alone in the power of His Resurrection. All
Hail indeed, Galilean, Thou hast conquered!

To Increase Next Year
Set Own Standards
This is the second article in a
series on education in the Nether-lands
by Dr. David 0. Moberg,
who taught at the State University
in Groningen, the Netherlands, last
school year.—Editor
Professors share in the benefits
of freedom. They are very indepen-dent,
once they •become professors
after passing through the lower
rands of subserviency as lectors,
assistants, or persons in other oc-cupations
who wrote books signifi-cant
enough to get them an aca-demic
appointment. (Few are ap-pointed
before the age of 35, and
some not until late in life.)
Professors choose or initiate
their own courses (within broad
limits), determine course content,
set the standards demanded of
students, and even do most of their
own scheduling. Within the five
to seven faculties which comprise
the university, most have their own
institutes and their own facilities.
Each institute operates almost
completely independent of all the
others.
Teaching hours for the professor
typically range from about three
to five per week. Long vacations
in summer (mid-May through mid-
September or longer), at Christ-mas,
and at Easter break the mon-otony
of the year. Salaries are
three to four times as high as
those of skilled laborers. No oc-cupational
group has higher social
status.
Of course, additional duties are
expected of the professor. He must
give-or, as the Dutch say, "take
from the student"—examinations.
He is expected to write 'his opin-ions
in articles and books. (Care-ful
empirical research is not needed
where "insight" is the source of
knowledge.) He serves (usually for
a generaus honorarium) as an ex-pert
on national and community
problems. He may even engage in
committee work for the univer-sity—
if he volunteers for it!
Dutch committee work is dif-ferent
from that of most American
institutions of higher learning.
One experienced professor told me
of his work as secretary of a
major university committee. It
met once or at most twice during
the academic year. Whenever im-portant
matters of business came
up, he and the chairman made a
decision and then telephoned the
other members to get their approv-al.
Minor matters were handled
exclusively by the two committee
leaders.
The professor knows "every-thing."
He must not be questioned
critically, for he cannot make a
mistake! Students do not em-barrass
professors with deep dis-cussions
in seminars and classes;
they are there to learn What the
fount of knowledge has for them.
(Besides, they seldom have done
"There's nothing like sliding on
your back, hanging by seat belts,
watching trees go by," said Pat
Colon.
Last Thursday Roger Purcell
and Pat Colon, friend, invested $24
in seat belts for Roger's '59 red
Porsche 1600 coupe. Roger terms
this "the hand of fate."
On Friday at about 1:15 p.m.,
Pat and Roger took a "little ride"
down to the south end of Snelling
avenue.
At 1:30 p.m. while in the woody,
"cruddy" area of the backroads,
Roger said he looked down at the
speedometer and it registered 30
m.p.h. Then the left, rear tire blew,
pulling the little German-made
car off the road.
The car finally hit a three foot
shoulder at a speed of aproxi-mately
10 m.p.h. This made the
car roll—for 25 feet down hill.
However there was an obstruction
—a tree. The car stopped against
the tree and rolled over.
After the floating feeling sub-sided,
Pat opened his seat belt
and hit his head on the roof.
Some men working on telephone
lines came down to make certain
that no one was hurt. (The Porsche
got entangled in some of the lines.)
Second catastrophe: PM slam-med
Roger's little finger in the
door.
"Oh, f-r-r-right! ! !" said Roger.

The high prestige of the professor
is interrelated with the authori-tarian
atmosphere that character-izes
the typical lecture room.
Assignments can be given in
several foreign languages. When
students are confronted with dif-ficulties
in their reading or in the
solution of statistical problems,
they consult one another. Even if
together they cannot solve mathe-matical
or other problems, they
seldom bring them to the profes-sor.

Twin City schools in a contest to
be held at First Lutheran church
in St. Paul.
This contest will combine with

Senate Hears
Suggestion
A recommendation concerning
campus parking has been present-ed
to the Student Senate.
This recommendation provides
for a patrolman appointed by the
administration to tag all cars park-ed
in restricted areas. Although it
is permissible to park along the
curb surrounding Bethel's campus,
no cars can be parked on the curb
opposite.
Fines imposed on offenders
would be two dollars, but this
would be increased for persistent
offenses.
The campus would be watched
by a patrolman in the morning
when students park their cars for
the day. He would also be on duty
at night since city law forbids all
night parking in front of resi-dences.
The recommendation was pre-sented
by a commtee composed of
Larry Nelson, chairman, Margorie
Elven, and Carl Amann. If ac-cepted
by the administration, the
recommendation would go into ef-fect
next fall.
'House Parties'
Scheduled April 1
Freshman house parties will be
held Wednesday, April 1. Trans-portation
will leave Bodien at 6:30
p.m., and the parties will begin
in the various homes at 7 p.m.
'Sue Buckbee, Marlys Danielson,
Dick Resch, Dave Stapp, and Elsie
Tutt are all opening their homes
for the house parties. The evening
is designed for relaxation and fel-lowship
with classmates.

freshman class president, all fresh-man
are to fill in the blanks they
received in their post office boxes.

Truman Turnquist, MVP;
Bethel's Future On Track
by Dave Hagfeldt
Quiet, well-liked by everyone, Truman Turnquist was this year's
winner of the MVP basketball trophy and was elected next year's
captain by his teammates. He is majoring in chemistry; basketball
leaves him plenty of time to maintain a 2.7 honor point ratio.
Truman began his basketball career playing on his high school's
varsity in Braham, Minn. While there, he was on the varsity for three
years, the last of which his team won the conference championship.
Concerning the '58-'59 season here with the Royals he said, "They're
a great bunch of guys, and I enjoyed working together with them . . . .
We could have won the Milton game with a few more breaks."
Truman recalled his biggest thrill of the season as being in the
Northwestern game during Founder's Week. He said, "It's great to
play with all those people behind you." (Incidently this was the game
Truman held John Van Dixhorn, conference leading scorer, to eight
points, while scoring 22 himself.)
Gladder Makes Preliminary Timings
Some of Bethel's trackmen are starting to get
in shape, but there's still a lot of conditioning to
be done. They have been timed this week for pace
laps.
Each day the cindermen, after calisthenics, take
from one to three laps around the big oval that
encircles the stadium at the fairgrounds. After
finishing there they go to a make-shift track,
which is about the size of a regulation track, where
they run again.
As soon as warmer weather comes they can
leave the mudholes and other obstructions and go
to the Ramsey high school track which is in much
better condition.
A welcomed addition to the squad is sprinter Gene Gladder

Evaluation of Intramural Program:
Caliber, Participation Increasing
Should Paddle-ball Be Varsity Sport?
by Don Sension
Intramurals are beginning to
reach the level that we would like
to have. Participation is up over
last year. In basketball there were
no forfeits this year, compared
with three last year. Several
teams had up to 12 participants
per game.
In the badminton tourney, which
is just beginning, there are a to-tal
of 29 participants this year, in
comparison to 15 last year. We
have 22 individuals participating
in badminton doubles.
Although it is difficult to judge,
it is felt that the caliber of play
has increased considerably. The
basketball race was evidence of
this.
No more fitting a climax could
have resulted than the playoff
game which resulted from intense
competition. The Dukes and
Squires completed the regular
schedule with 6-1 records. In the
playoff game which followed the
Dukes defeated the Squires by a
score of 78-52.
Dick Graham and Ken Baird
led the Dukes scoring 16 points
each. Nine other Dukes scored
over five points. Leading the scor-ing
for the Squires was John
Carlson with 14 points. Perhaps
an indication of the intense com-petition
were the two protests
which were received by the Intra-mural
Executive committee.
In the table tennis tournament
the victor was Fred Stearns of
the Counts. Fred combined - with
Ron Palosaari swept the table ten-nis
doubles, also for the Counts.
To provide more competition and
continuity for the entire intra-
Bethel's "B" club has several
social events planned for its 45
members during the remainder of
this school year.
A canoe trip is planned, May 8,

on several of the lakes in the
Insula chain.
A meeting will be held concern-ing
a revised constitution on April
2. One of the new proposals is
making provision for men who let-ter

Paddle-ball has a few basic re-quirements
for existence: at least
two paddles; a ball; a room, com-plete

two humans, two non-humans or a

And among athletes, as there are
a few in every crowd, there are
a few who don't know which sport
they like best. Some of them don't
like either.
All basic rules of play are iden-tical
to handball, so now you know
how to play paddle-ball. Of course
if you don't know how to play
handball you are out of luck.
If you don't know how to play
handball try asking one of the

because handball is paddle-ball
without a paddle.

the combined meetings.
The remaining Senate seats will be filled by
the four class presidents and chairmen of the ath-letic,
cultural, religious, and social councils.
According to Dwight Jessup, Senate president,
all students interested in council positions and
chairmanship of the Homecoming committee should
contact present council chairmen or Senate members,
A retreat has been planned for the combined
Senates on Saturday, May 2, at Lyman Lodge on
Lake Minnetonka.
Paul was three times president of his high
school class and president of his high school student
government.
At present he is chairman of the junior-senior
banquet committee. Paul also played football this

majority over his opponent, Dick Benert.
Bruce is vice-chairman and treasurer of re-ligious
council, vice-president of male chorus, and
student representative to student personnel com-mittee
and chapel committee.

Visit Bethel
Twenty-eight Guatemalan stu-dents
will stay on the Bethel cam-pus
March 30 and 31.
These students are a group from
the University of Guatamala and
are brought to the Twin Cities by
the Rev. and Mrs. Robert Thorpe,
missionaries in Guatamala.
An informal gathering will be
held on March 31. This will be
open to all students and will con-sist
of discussion on inter-Ameri-can
relationships and Latin Am-erican
customs. The meeting will
be held in the student center at
7:30 p.m.
The visitors will return to the
campus on Friday, April 3, to par-ticipate
in a college-seminary joint
chapel in the fieldhouse.
Any student interested in hav-ing
one of the Guatamalan visitors
stay in his room should contact
the Student Affairs office.
Bethel college choir, under the
direction of C. Howard Smith, pro-fessor
of music, will leave on their
eleventh annual tour on Thurs-day,
March 26. This year the choir
will be touring the Northwest.
A Good Friday concert in Great
Falls, Mont. will be the first of
the tour. Easter Sunday will be
spent in Seattle, Wash., where
three concerts will be sung.
Oregon is next on the itinerary
with concerts in Clatskanis, War-ren,
and Portland. From here the
wick conference, sponsored by
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
Bethel was also host to Dr. Fitch
for Founder's Week 1958.
To lead students and staff into
a deeper walk with the Lord is
the purpose of Deeper Like week,
according to Dr. Carl Lundquist,
president of the college and sem-inary.
Evening vesper services, as well
as daily chapel hours, will be high-lighted
during this week of spirit-ual
emphasis. Dr. Lundquist feels
the sincere searching on the part
of each student will determine the
fruitfulness of this week.
The Spiritual Life committee,
with Dr. Virgil Olson, professor
of church history, as chairman, has
made the arrangements for the
week.
President Says:
Paul Evan submitted the fol-lowing
statement to the CLAR-ION

government of Bethel in a way
that will benefit the student
body and be plea6ing to God.
"With the example set by past
presidents and Senates as my
guide and with the help of all
Bethel students, I hope to carry
out the program outlined dur-ing
the campaign and to uphold
the traditions of Bethel."

Stop the elevator at the second floor and walk out into a lobby
surrounded by doors at the tops of sets of three stairs. (Three's a neat
number, I think.) Each door has a porthole window.
The idea of the porthole window comes from an old tradition of
the doormakers, who used to work for United States Lines when they
were still just clippers. This tradition for the porthole window itself
comes from an even older philosophy—and if you are outlining this
article, this will be subpoint (1) under A of point I—that philosophy
being the Orwellian-IVIachiavellian idea whereby every person is to
be watched with brotherly interest so that none can be secretive from
the top brass.
The lobby is quiet except for the receptionist at the switchboard,
and the sapranic squeals from the late night opera-for-easy-listening.
Of course, this in itself gives the lobby an attitude of profound dis-quiet.
But just where the fright are we?
Its Saturday night at WOCO, and the network is occupying the
airwaves with a modern three-hour opera in which artist and orchestra
do not necessarily coincide on notes and phrases. This is easily discern-able.
Interesting experience! Shattering!

of Scrabble with his wife, who had came over for the evening to play
Scrabble, and was our guide on the studio's two-dollar tour. Should you
chance to go in the afternoon, you receive the station's two-obit tour.

Consideration Of Politics
Is A Christian Obligation
That political interest is a mat-ter
of Christian obligation is the
belief of Dr. James Klonoski, last
Thursday's Political Emphasis
week chapel speaker.
Some reasons: man is ruled by
government which is obviously
close to politics; the Christian, of
all people, should be aware of
man's complexities; the political
arena is a "mission field" where
Christians must have voice amidst
the clamor of the "burly sinners"
(John Dewey) who will fill the
seats not filled by the upright.
Dr. Klonoski deplores the atti-tude
of citizens who are above the
"questionable" profession in terms
of participation. He feels that non-participation
of the Christian in
politics makes Christianity greatly
non-operative and uninfluential in
that area.
In a seemingly contradictory,
though obviously correct, state-ment,
Dr. Klonoski holds that all
citizens participate in political
activity; negative participation in
some cases, but participation never-theless.
Dr. Klonoski's ideas are appli-cable
at Bethel college and semin-ary.
To some degree campus gov-ernment
rules the student; stu-dents
are complex and capable of
unusual action; although Bethel's
quota of "burly sinners" is held
to an absolute minimum, there
exist varying ideas along a con-tinuum
of thought.
In order for the student to rea-lize
any representation of his
ideas in the ruling body of stu-dent
government he must take
an active part in campus politics—
at least to the extent of voting.
Some areas of student life are
-drefinit,— affected by student plan-ning
and regulation of activity.
The minimum requirement for a
student interested in, much less
critical of, student planned acti-vity
is that of making known his
preference as to "planners."
There is a parallel to this in the
area of concern for student-ad-ministration
communication. Stu-dents

Letter
To The
Editor
Critic Criticized
Dear Editor,
One recognizes that a drama
critic has the right to exercise his
prerogative of independent judg-ment,
but it is my opinion that
one of the members of the fine
cast of performers in the recent
presentation of The Robe was un-deservingly
slighted in B. J.'s re-view
in the CLARION.
I felt that Rich Nygren gave an
exceptionally fine performance as
the sensitive Marcellus in that
play. In a role that called for many
transitions of mood, Rich, despite
his youthful mien, gave a very con-vincing
portrayal of the aristo-cratic
nobleman, torn between an
aristocratic tradition and the
claims of Christ.
The dramatics club and their
student directors are to be com-mended
for an excellent perform-ance,
in spite of limitations of
personnel and staging facilities.

For the interest of the campus
In the fall of the year, when I
was in seventh grade and about
the age of 11, I was interested in
many things. One of these was a
bicycle. It was my brother's bi-cycle,
but as the years went by I
usurped possession of this prize.
I remember the first time I
rode it. I could hardly reach the
pedals while sitting on the cross-bar
of the bike. (I learned at a

very early age that not to have
a cross-bar on your bicycle just
wasn't right — for fellows, any-way.)
Well, on this one summer day,
my brother helped me get started
on the bike and then went to play
baseball with his friends. I had
lots of fun riding. It was really
an achievement; something like
arguing without changing your
mind. I rode for five, ten, maybe
fifteen, twenty . . . I rode for a
long time, and I finally got tired,
so I rode over to where my brother
was playing baseball and asked
him to help me stop.
My brother, a hardened 14 year
old member of the "experience is
the best teacher" school of bicycle
riding, told me that either I would
keep riding or learn to stop by
myself. Forty-five minutes later I
eased to a stop on the running
'board of a '39 Dodge (in those
days there were a few '39 Dodges
and lots of cars had running
boards) with no damage to either
of us (the Dodge or me) except
a slight crease from gas cap for-ward.
Well, getting back to the time
when I was one and ten and in
the one and six grade, my brother
and I were riding home on the
bicycle. (I was on the handle-bars
in flagrant disrespect of all safety
precaution. I never liked safety.)
At school they used to give us
maps with the safest way home.
One dumb kid lost his map and
couldn't go home for three days.
Anyway, I didn't like the maps
and I cut through vacant lots on
my way home.
We were coming home from a
meeting of one of those boys
groups, whose name I won't men-tion,
designed to help young ones,
of at least 11 years, to be trust-worthy,
loyal, friendly, brave, kind
. . . (They weren't very good at
it. Once when I was nine I went
to camp with them for a week-end
and through the whole time they
impressed upon me the importance
of being able to lie about my age
at the drop of a question.)
Well, anyway, we were flying
down this 75 degree hill and got
to the bottom and turned the first
corner we got to and hit a bump
and I bounced off my perch. Not
wanting to leave the ship, I hung
on. This resulted in my transfor-mation
from boy to rapidly mov-ing
projectile with nose inches
above the pavement and grappling
hooks clutching to the recently
vacated handle-bar.
,My exhilaration, or more car-rectly
acceleration, was short -
lived when strength was gone and
my nose dented the asphalt sur-face
with the force of around
eight G's. ('G's are gravities, a
term familiar to nearly all who
live in the space age.)
It didn't hurt too bad, but Mom
didn't like my 43 per cent loss of
one of 'my front teeth. (Actually,
she should have been used to it,
because my brother lost his front
teeth eight times. Wish I had time
to talk about that; some of those
were real sharp accidents.)
Today, except for my three -
quarters-of-an-inch-too short nose,
you can hardly tell anything hap-pened,
except for the filling in my
front tooth.
Many times since that fateful
Monday night I have ridden that
'bicycle, and many times this blunt-ed
nasal region has cleaved the
air to make way for the hurtling
vehicle propelled by my brother
(better not mention that one to my
mother), but I never have trusted
fully that implement of disfigura-tion.
Never — until last week. Last
week I forgave that poor, inno-cent,
inanimate object and vowed
never to let the incident create any
animosity between the Schwinn bi-cycle
people and myself.
Moral: If someone pushes your
nose in, forgive him . . . It's a
lot easier that way . . . Besides,
you aren't fightin"em if they
aren't feelin' it. Harold
The Conqueror Appears;
Victory Dispels All Fear
by Marvin Anderson
Ten long years of arduous struggle, of retreat, stratigem, advance,
destruction. The ranks of the Greeks had been decimated by sorties of
the crafty Trojan. Many brave heroes had been thrown as prey to the
dogs and carrion for the fowls.
A lonely Achaean watchman resumed his nightly vigil for the
tenth year, waiting news from the towers of Troy. Suddenly he shouted
with all his being, "All Hail, thou harbinger of the dawn." From a
distant rise the signal fire beamed and the long watch was ended;
Helen was avenged, and the weary soldiers began their Odyssey back
through the wine-dark sea to home and peace.
The Emperor of Imperial Rome, last guardian of classical antiquity
and the ancient gods, lay on his death bed. Julian, the Apostate, failed
to halt the victory march of the martyrs. "Hail, Galilean," he said,
"Thou hast conquered." One can scarcely read Holy Gospel without
a sense of the triumphant. Too long has tradition crystalized the Christ,
till He has become the sentimental Jesus of manger and Madonna,
adorning the altar of some Renaissance chapel.
Ibsen's brand charged that the Hero of the Redemption has been
changed into a suckling. Either that or He has become the theologized
Christ of scholastic creed and summae. A Christian in this anxious
world faces foes more potent than Trojan craft or Roman might. Sin,
doubt and fear are ever marshaled at the door. It was Christ who said,
Let not your hearts be tossed
like the waves in a stormy sea
nor flinch in the face
of danger or toil.
Two women had come to visit their master's grave that first
Easter dawn. With heavy hearts and sorrow that blinded eyes and
minds, they approached the tomb. Two angels appeared, and with the
message of Resurrection 'pulsating in their hearts, the women ran to
tell the disciples. Christ appeared, and all fear fled as He brought
peace and victory. "All Hail," said the Master, and the Church through
the ages has resounded, "We Conquer."
John's first Epistle reminds us that Christians have gained the
victory over the Evil One. As we all face this Easter under an imminent
cloud of atomic holocaust, let us shout with the martyr-witnesses of
the early church: "All Hail, Thou Conquering Christ."
Then may the peace of God's own Son remain with us by the daily
forgiveness of sin found alone in the power of His Resurrection. All
Hail indeed, Galilean, Thou hast conquered!

To Increase Next Year
Set Own Standards
This is the second article in a
series on education in the Nether-lands
by Dr. David 0. Moberg,
who taught at the State University
in Groningen, the Netherlands, last
school year.—Editor
Professors share in the benefits
of freedom. They are very indepen-dent,
once they •become professors
after passing through the lower
rands of subserviency as lectors,
assistants, or persons in other oc-cupations
who wrote books signifi-cant
enough to get them an aca-demic
appointment. (Few are ap-pointed
before the age of 35, and
some not until late in life.)
Professors choose or initiate
their own courses (within broad
limits), determine course content,
set the standards demanded of
students, and even do most of their
own scheduling. Within the five
to seven faculties which comprise
the university, most have their own
institutes and their own facilities.
Each institute operates almost
completely independent of all the
others.
Teaching hours for the professor
typically range from about three
to five per week. Long vacations
in summer (mid-May through mid-
September or longer), at Christ-mas,
and at Easter break the mon-otony
of the year. Salaries are
three to four times as high as
those of skilled laborers. No oc-cupational
group has higher social
status.
Of course, additional duties are
expected of the professor. He must
give-or, as the Dutch say, "take
from the student"—examinations.
He is expected to write 'his opin-ions
in articles and books. (Care-ful
empirical research is not needed
where "insight" is the source of
knowledge.) He serves (usually for
a generaus honorarium) as an ex-pert
on national and community
problems. He may even engage in
committee work for the univer-sity—
if he volunteers for it!
Dutch committee work is dif-ferent
from that of most American
institutions of higher learning.
One experienced professor told me
of his work as secretary of a
major university committee. It
met once or at most twice during
the academic year. Whenever im-portant
matters of business came
up, he and the chairman made a
decision and then telephoned the
other members to get their approv-al.
Minor matters were handled
exclusively by the two committee
leaders.
The professor knows "every-thing."
He must not be questioned
critically, for he cannot make a
mistake! Students do not em-barrass
professors with deep dis-cussions
in seminars and classes;
they are there to learn What the
fount of knowledge has for them.
(Besides, they seldom have done
"There's nothing like sliding on
your back, hanging by seat belts,
watching trees go by," said Pat
Colon.
Last Thursday Roger Purcell
and Pat Colon, friend, invested $24
in seat belts for Roger's '59 red
Porsche 1600 coupe. Roger terms
this "the hand of fate."
On Friday at about 1:15 p.m.,
Pat and Roger took a "little ride"
down to the south end of Snelling
avenue.
At 1:30 p.m. while in the woody,
"cruddy" area of the backroads,
Roger said he looked down at the
speedometer and it registered 30
m.p.h. Then the left, rear tire blew,
pulling the little German-made
car off the road.
The car finally hit a three foot
shoulder at a speed of aproxi-mately
10 m.p.h. This made the
car roll—for 25 feet down hill.
However there was an obstruction
—a tree. The car stopped against
the tree and rolled over.
After the floating feeling sub-sided,
Pat opened his seat belt
and hit his head on the roof.
Some men working on telephone
lines came down to make certain
that no one was hurt. (The Porsche
got entangled in some of the lines.)
Second catastrophe: PM slam-med
Roger's little finger in the
door.
"Oh, f-r-r-right! ! !" said Roger.

The high prestige of the professor
is interrelated with the authori-tarian
atmosphere that character-izes
the typical lecture room.
Assignments can be given in
several foreign languages. When
students are confronted with dif-ficulties
in their reading or in the
solution of statistical problems,
they consult one another. Even if
together they cannot solve mathe-matical
or other problems, they
seldom bring them to the profes-sor.

in St. Paul.

Senate Hears
Suggestion
A recommendation concerning
campus parking has been present-ed
to the Student Senate.
This recommendation provides
for a patrolman appointed by the
administration to tag all cars park-ed
in restricted areas. Although it
is permissible to park along the
curb surrounding Bethel's campus,
no cars can be parked on the curb
opposite.
Fines imposed on offenders
would be two dollars, but this
would be increased for persistent
offenses.
The campus would be watched
by a patrolman in the morning
when students park their cars for
the day. He would also be on duty
at night since city law forbids all
night parking in front of resi-dences.
The recommendation was pre-sented
by a commtee composed of
Larry Nelson, chairman, Margorie
Elven, and Carl Amann. If ac-cepted
by the administration, the
recommendation would go into ef-fect
next fall.
'House Parties'
Scheduled April 1
Freshman house parties will be
held Wednesday, April 1. Trans-portation
will leave Bodien at 6:30
p.m., and the parties will begin
in the various homes at 7 p.m.
'Sue Buckbee, Marlys Danielson,
Dick Resch, Dave Stapp, and Elsie
Tutt are all opening their homes
for the house parties. The evening
is designed for relaxation and fel-lowship

Dave Discusses:
Truman Turnquist, MVP;
Bethel's Future On Track
by Dave Hagfeldt
Quiet, well-liked by everyone, Truman Turnquist was this year's
winner of the MVP basketball trophy and was elected next year's
captain by his teammates. He is majoring in chemistry; basketball
leaves him plenty of time to maintain a 2.7 honor point ratio.
Truman began his basketball career playing on his high school's
varsity in Braham, Minn. While there, he was on the varsity for three
years, the last of which his team won the conference championship.
Concerning the '58-'59 season here with the Royals he said, "They're
a great bunch of guys, and I enjoyed working together with them . . . .
We could have won the Milton game with a few more breaks."
Truman recalled his biggest thrill of the season as being in the
Northwestern game during Founder's Week. He said, "It's great to
play with all those people behind you." (Incidently this was the game
Truman held John Van Dixhorn, conference leading scorer, to eight
points, while scoring 22 himself.)
Gladder Makes Preliminary Timings
Some of Bethel's trackmen are starting to get
in shape, but there's still a lot of conditioning to
be done. They have been timed this week for pace
laps.
Each day the cindermen, after calisthenics, take
from one to three laps around the big oval that
encircles the stadium at the fairgrounds. After
finishing there they go to a make-shift track,
which is about the size of a regulation track, where
they run again.
As soon as warmer weather comes they can
leave the mudholes and other obstructions and go
to the Ramsey high school track which is in much
better condition.
A welcomed addition to the squad is sprinter Gene Gladder

Evaluation of Intramural Program:
Caliber, Participation Increasing
Should Paddle-ball Be Varsity Sport?
by Don Sension
Intramurals are beginning to
reach the level that we would like
to have. Participation is up over
last year. In basketball there were
no forfeits this year, compared
with three last year. Several
teams had up to 12 participants
per game.
In the badminton tourney, which
is just beginning, there are a to-tal
of 29 participants this year, in
comparison to 15 last year. We
have 22 individuals participating
in badminton doubles.
Although it is difficult to judge,
it is felt that the caliber of play
has increased considerably. The
basketball race was evidence of
this.
No more fitting a climax could
have resulted than the playoff
game which resulted from intense
competition. The Dukes and
Squires completed the regular
schedule with 6-1 records. In the
playoff game which followed the
Dukes defeated the Squires by a
score of 78-52.
Dick Graham and Ken Baird
led the Dukes scoring 16 points
each. Nine other Dukes scored
over five points. Leading the scor-ing
for the Squires was John
Carlson with 14 points. Perhaps
an indication of the intense com-petition
were the two protests
which were received by the Intra-mural
Executive committee.
In the table tennis tournament
the victor was Fred Stearns of
the Counts. Fred combined - with
Ron Palosaari swept the table ten-nis
doubles, also for the Counts.
To provide more competition and
continuity for the entire intra-
Bethel's "B" club has several
social events planned for its 45
members during the remainder of
this school year.
A canoe trip is planned, May 8,
9, and 10 starting from Ely, Minn.,
on several of the lakes in the
Insula chain.
A meeting will be held concern-ing
a revised constitution on April
2. One of the new proposals is
making provision for men who let-ter

handball better than paddle-ball.
And among athletes, as there are
a few in every crowd, there are
a few who don't know which sport
they like best. Some of them don't
like either.
All basic rules of play are iden-tical
to handball, so now you know
how to play paddle-ball. Of course
if you don't know how to play
handball you are out of luck.
If you don't know how to play
handball try asking one of the

because handball is paddle-ball
without a paddle.
